I WOMEN CRUSADE
I FOR LONG SKIRTS
Reformers Urge Dress Conceal
ing Ankles and Giving the
Hips More Freedom.
CHICAGO, Auk 7. Longer and
wider skirts, with the waist cut so that
the bosom Is not exposed, is the rem
edy for the wide criticism now show
ered on the attire of girls and women.
While the skirt should not be 'ong
■ enough to strike the sidewalk, it should
be long enough to conceal the ankles.
This is the view of Chicago women
who have given the subject study.
Miss Mary F. Halcomb, president of
[ . I the Young People’s Civic league, fa
vors the longer skirt and higher cut
bodice.
“The big cry of annoyance on the
street and in public places from men.
which girls are now making, is largely
I due to their foolish mode of dress and
", manner,” she said. "Year by year and
month by month the garb of woman has
been growing shorter and tighter. Now
a big woman looks awful in the.pres
ent style. Only the dumpling girl can
wear the costume and h<er figure is so
accentuated that comment and annoy
ance follows. The skirt should be long
enough to cover the ankles and at least
one-third fuller about the hips. Many
skirts are now above high shoe-tops
and when the wearer sits down in pub
!\ lic the tiK’At mode forces the skirt
many inches higher. The panniers
have not helped much, but they have
accomplished a little good in conceal
ing the figure.”

BARTLETT RAPS
OPPONENTWISE
Sixth District Congressman, at
Thomaston, Answers Fay
etteville Man’s Speech.
THOMASTON. GA.. Aug. 7.—Charles
L. Bartlett, of Macon, candidate for re
election to congress from this, the Sixth
district, who has served eighteen con
secutive years, made a speech here in
the court house before 400 voters and
created a strong impression. For nine
consecutive years the voters of Upson
have carried this county in his favor,
this being the first county to ever sup
port him. This time he is meeting with
considerable opposition here.
After being introduced by Allen Wil
liams, of Yatesville. Mr. Bartlett spoke
for two hours. He quoted frequently
from the Griffin speech of his opponent,
J. W. Wise, of Fayetteville, and said
that Mr. Wise was a kind of a “semi-
Solomon,” who knew about half of
everything, except congress and the
congressional record. He said Mr.
Wise had stated that he was not a
member of any important committee in
congress. Judge Bartlett stated that he
was a member of the appropriations
committee, a committee so important
that no member of congress could serve
on any other committee if placed on it.
Arguing that seniority was of great
advantage, he stated that he had been
in service longer than any other mem
ber, save one.
Replying to Mr. Wise's statement that
he had done nothing but send out
"speeches and garden seed.” he went
into some of the measures advocated by
himself some of which he passed over a
Republican house. While a member of
the committee on banks and banking,
he said, lie offered the . amendment,
which passed, that national banks pay
interest on government money on de
posit, thereby earning thousands of dol
lars annually to the government, and
that it was his amendment that secured
the first appropriation for the depart-
ment of justice to Investigate the trusts. *
He said the record showed that he I
repeatedly fought the trusts, and that, i
largely through his amendment, the j
rates on express. Pullman, telegraph
service were reduced under the investi
gation of the interstate commerce com- j
mission. Unaided almost, the amend- '
ment offered by him to put cotton bag- I
ging and ties and meat on the free list '
was passed by the house and senate. '
only to be turned down by President
Taft. He reviewed other acts while in
congress.

• SUMMER SUGGESTIONS •
• FOR THE MOTHER •
• Seasonable Advice on the •
Health of Children in Hot •
• Weather. J .
Mothers should be careful not to
overfeed children during the hot
months. No one requires as much food
in summer as they do in cold weather.
Serve only the lighter and more easily
digested foods, and sec that the milk is
kept cool and the fruit ripe.
It is quite natural to expect some
disturbance, such as constipation, Indi
gestion, or summer diarrhoea, often
accompanied by a cold. A mild laxa
tive at bed time will, in most cases,
carry off the congested waste from the
stomach next morning and by cleaning
the bowels restore normal conditions.
Cathartic remedies and purgatives
should never be used for children.
They are harsh and violent in their
action and tend to upset the entire sys
tem. The combination of simple laxa
tive herbs with pepsin, known as Dr.
Caldwell Syrup Pepsin, and sold by
druggists for fifty cents a bottle, is
now very generally used to correct
stomach and bowel trouble. It is mild
and pleasant to the taste and contains
no drastic drug, or narcotic, but acts
naturally and easily, yet most effective
ly. A larger bottle, containing more
than twice the quantity, is sold for one
dollar If you have never used Syrup
Pepsin and would like a free trial bot
tle, postpaid, write to Dr. W. B. Cald
well. 406 Washington St., Monticello,
